Cheers , I'm a Mark Bowden fanboy and after reading the article it says he has another book out.

Horrible but interesting read about one of the worst tragedies within the 2011 earthquake. Drove through thidS town last week - they have signs all up the coast showing where the water stopped. It's so surprisingly high that even that changed my mind about tsunamis and tsunami warnings, which until now I'd almost always ignored.

@gt12 I remember watching it unfold in real time on tv. Just ridiculous power that swept up everything in its path. I read about places similar to that village where there are stone markers that indicated where the water got to during previous tsunamis. Terrible that these warnings are forgotten over time and similar mistakes are repeated

87 years ago today Marx Brothers surreal classic Animal Crackers was released into cinemas

Their next movie was Monkey Business (still with fourth brother Zeppo).
At the beginning of the movie they are each in a barrel (stowaways on a ship) and are singing Sweet Adeline.
The great mystery is - is there four voices singing or three? If it's four - that means Harpo was singing, although not seen.
And if you're a Marx brothers fan, you just have to rewatch the mirror scene in Duck Soup.
